Recipe - Homemade Steak and Gorgonzola Pizza


I think this serves more as inspiration than a recipe. Use this as a start and make a pizza that suits you and your taste. I won't bother with measurements etc, just use the force Luke! Go with your gut feeling and add what you like in proportions you think will work. What's the worst that can happen? It's not like the pizza council will come and drag your sorry ass in front of the pizza court or something.

Why make your own pizza? Why not? You save money, get it exactly as you want and you know that it is made with love using fresh ingredients. Another bonus is that you'll avoid potentially awkward situations. Like last time I called Domino's to get a pizza delivered. I ordered a thin crusty Supreme. When the doorbell rang Diana Ross stood outside...

If you can't be bothered to make your own sauce, use ready made pasta sauce for example. You could even mix some tomato paste and ketchup if you're in that mood. However - whatever you do, please don't use one of those pre-made pizza bases. They are pure evil, sprung directly from the loins of the devil!

Something that made this pizza taste even better was to eat it whilst watching the mighty Arsenal crush Porto in Champions League. ;)

Ingredients (serves 1)
1 batch of pizza dough
Steak, cut into thin strips
Gorgonzola, crumbled
Mozzarella, torn
Marinara sauce
Garlic, cut into paper thin slices
Red pepper, cut into strips
Red onion, halved and then sliced
Salt
Pepper

Method
Start by frying the seasoned steak strips until they start to get some colour. Put them to the side.

Heat the oven to about 220c - 240c.

In the meantime prepare the pizza dough as per the instructions in your recipe/on the package.

When the dough is ready and is rolled into a circle and placed on a baking tray or similar it's time for the fun stuff.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the pizza base. Scatter the garlic, followed by the mozzarella and some ground pepper. Place out the red pepper, onion and steak slices. Finish off with the crumbled gorgonzola.

Chuck it all into the oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and gained a healthy golden brown colour. Remove from the oven, cut into slices and...

Enjoy!
